What Zhong Shi didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Xu Fei to make a move, and the complexity of the relationship and the wide range of characters involved made the well-informed Fu Yuntian feel extremely shocked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And this case, in order to sort out the various relationships, finally dragged on for a full year, reaching the maximum limit of the criminal detention time before the trial was finally held. Not only Xu Fei, but also the CEOs of dozens of listed companies were also tried, and in the end they were all severely punished by the law.

But these things have nothing to do with Zhongshi anymore.

After finishing the conversation with Xu Fei, he was quickly taken into the office of the chiefs by a Hongqi car.

"Hello, Chief."

The second time he came to the chief's office, Zhong Shi was somewhat familiar with the road, and after saying hello to Secretary Lin, he sat on the reception sofa.

"Xiao Zhong, thank you for your hard work."

The chief took off his glasses and said to Zhong Shi with a smile, "I didn't think about it last time. But even then, you're doing a great job. I have to say, you are really a natural blessing. ”

He's talking about foreign exchange reserves.

"Thank you, Chief, for recognizing my work."

Hearing this, Zhong Shi couldn't help but straighten his waist and said, "This is just my personal insignificant contribution to the country. If the country needs it, I am obligated at all times. ”

"Really?"

The chief glanced at Zhong Shi slyly, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then said, "But there is indeed one thing that needs to be consulted at this time. ”

"This ......"

Zhong Shi was dumbfounded, he was just talking high-sounding words, who didn't want the other party to hold his words, and he wanted to put forward conditions, which made him fall into an embarrassing situation for a while, and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

"Hahaha, you little comrade, when did you learn to be careful not to speak?"

The chief is such a shrewd person, he saw through Zhong Shi's embarrassment at a glance, and immediately laughed, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Regarding this matter, you listen to it first and then make a decision." Rest assured, it's not a big deal, and the most you can do is support work. Of course, if you don't agree, we won't force it, after all, you have done a lot for this country. ”

Zhong Shi was like being pardoned, and his face showed a look of contempt. However, what the chief said also succeeded in arousing his curiosity.

"That's right, it's up to Kobayashi to talk about it."

The chief picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and asked, "But before that, I want to ask you a question, what do you think of Li Jiacheng?" ”

"What do you think?"

Zhong Shi was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed involuntarily, but he quickly thought about what was going on.

Since last year, Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China, has been selling off projects and assets in the mainland, and the real estate market at this time is in full bloom. Li Jiacheng's abnormal behavior naturally aroused widespread concern in the society, which in turn led to some abnormal voices, so there was a call for "don't let Li Jiacheng run away".

In Zhong Shi's view, this is just a normal business practice, and it has little to do with other things. But the chief's sudden questioning must have a deep meaning. For a moment, his head spun rapidly, and he pondered the chief's intentions.

"Personally, I think that the real estate market in the mainland has reached the brink of getting out of control."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Shi replied, "The ratio between housing prices and the average income of residents far exceeds the international average standard, and there is a huge bubble in it. It was precisely because of this that he chose to withdraw from the real estate market in Huaxia. It's a businessman's instinct, and it doesn't have much to do with the rest. ”

"Your opinion coincides with mine."

The chief nodded heavily, "As for some of the rumors circulating in society, I don't really care about them. Today we are not talking about Mr. Lee's divestment, but about his investment in the UK. ”

"Britain?"

After a long turn, the chief said the main purpose, which couldn't help but make Zhong Shi a little dizzy, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what happened in Britain recently.

"Okay, don't think about it, let Xiao Lin tell you about this matter."

Looking at Zhong Shi's contemplative appearance, the chief smiled, couldn't help but pat the other party, pointed to Xiao Lin, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Don't underestimate me as a secretary, he is a double doctor of international relations and economics." Okay, Xiaolin, tell Zhong Shi what the hell is going on. ”

"Yes."

Kobayashi was unrestrained, sat down opposite Zhongshi, and began to explain, "Britain has a very glorious history in history, its colonies are all over the world, and wherever the sun shines, there is a British flag flying. Therefore, for a period of time, Britain was known as the 'empire on which the sun never sets'. ”

In this glory, the British elite also held themselves in high esteem, often presenting themselves as an independent and powerful existence. For some time, they have been doing this for the United States, for Europe. This phenomenon persisted until the sixties of the last century, when its colonial independence movements began one after another, and the British Empire lost its former glory, gradually falling from the world's largest power group to the point it is today. ”

"This transformation can be said to be accidental or inevitable. Although Britain is no longer the center of the world, this foreign policy based on the center of the world has continued. What we want to focus on today is the relationship between the UK and the countries of continental Europe. ”

"After the collapse of the 'empire on which the sun never sets', Britain joined the European Union. But after joining the European Union, there were very different voices within the Labour Party, which led the process, so much so that the then Prime Minister Harold . Wilson had to use a referendum to eliminate this split in the party. Of course, the end result, as we all know, was that the British people at that time were in favor of joining the European Union. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Shi had faintly sensed what the other party wanted to say.

By the time of Margaret Thatcher, the 'Iron Lady', the divide had become even wider. At that time, Britain followed the United States in implementing 'Reaganomics', which simply means the privatization of state-owned enterprises and a free market economy, limiting state intervention in economic development. The continent as a whole is emphasizing the construction of a 'social Europe', with increasing socialist and welfarist overtones. Between the two groups, one turns to the right and the other to the left. ”

"In this context, Britain is constantly playing the role of an opponent within the European Union for the sake of its own position, preventing Europe from becoming a supranational organization. This opposition itself has led to the increasing marginalization of Britain's role in the EU, and the loss of the opportunity to dominate European affairs. The marginalization of the characters further exacerbated the tension between Europe and the United Kingdom. ”

Secretary Lin continued: "Not only in the UK itself, but also within the Conservative Party. The Labour Party and the British Independence Party are relatively similar in their views on the EU, and both are opposed. But within the ruling Conservative Party, the split in views on the EU is particularly striking. Some Conservatives see the EU as a symbol of big government and welfarism, while others see clear benefits to EU membership, and the party leaders choose to find a compromise between the two factions. ”

"It is clear that this compromise does not solve the problem, it only delays it. Since the time of Major, this split has been widened and even intensified, when some Conservatives announced their resignation from the Conservative Party and joined their opposites. In this context, the right-wing parties have grown to strengthen, and the aforementioned British Independence Party has grown to become the third largest party in the United Kingdom, which greatly threatens the ruling position of the Conservative Party. ”

"The divisions within the party cannot be repaired, and the loss of voice after Britain's accession to the European Union is extremely embarrassing for the current prime minister. In this case, he had to seek more voice from the EU to make up for the split within the party and to justify their strategy of joining the EU. ”

"At the beginning of this year, the British prime minister set four conditions for the UK to remain in the EU, including ensuring that the European Common Market treats the UK and other non-eurozone countries equally; enhance the competitiveness of the EU and reduce the constraints on the economies of member states; allow the UK not to participate in the EU political integration process and strengthen the powers of the parliaments of EU member states; The four major measures of controlling EU immigration into the UK and restricting the rights and interests of EU immigrants to receive employment benefits in the UK are aimed at gaining more voice from the EU. ”

In order for the EU to accept this condition, he did not hesitate to threaten a Brexit referendum. But for now, the EU is not interested in such a statement by the UK. The pattern of interests within them has been formed, and it is completely impossible for the British to want more at this time. So in the end, it will be interesting to see whether the prime minister will use public opinion to bridge the divide within the party, or whether the British will leave the EU. ”

After Secretary Lin said so much in one breath, he kept his mouth shut and just looked at Zhong Shi with a smile. He knew that with Zhong Shi's cleverness, he had already guessed what he wanted to say.

"A Britain that leaves the EU is good for us?"

Zhong Shi turned his head solemnly and asked the chief solemnly, "Or is it more important for us to have a Britain that joins the EU?" ”

"Do you think Europe had more influence on the world before the debt crisis, or did the EU have more influence on the world after the turmoil?"

The chief was quite satisfied with Zhong Shi's question, but he did not answer it directly, but instead asked Zhong Shi another question. (To be continued.) )
